Chicken Korma


This is one of my favorite chicken recipes because its so easy but reminds me of home cooking. It's from my mom, and she's one of those people that eschews measurements, so you might want to fiddle with the amounts depending on your preference.

1 2lb. whole chicken cut in pieces
4 oz. finely sliced onion
